England vs India 2018, 5th Test Day 1 Stats: Ishant Sharma equals Kapil Dev's record

Here are some of the numbers from the day's play -

0 - The last player before debutant Hanuma Vihari to be in India's Test XI while playing for the Andhra team was MSK Prasad (against Australia in 2000). Prasad is the current chief selector.
